A good suggestion for something slightly veering away from bluegrass is the Fleet Foxes. They would be perfect for this setting. If you haven't heard their critically acclaimed self-titled album it's like CSNY if Brian Wilson was in the band and they rented a cabin in the Northern Cascades and  wrote an album together

ohhhhh. eddie vedder would be very nice. there are some other discs of his solo stuff floating around, besides into the wild. he would also be a good fit for folks fest as well.
